Andyp's bridge thread

[Bones]

bio-neural or whatever-called circuitry looks too out of place here, isolinear chips would be much better IMHO

agreed, though who says there cant be a later variant that was never seen.

[Bones]

of course there can but since it's WIP we're giving him C&C right ;) chips would look much better because they were standerd issue in starfleet (actually not only in SF but who cares ) while bio-something stuff was experimental tech designed for Intrepid class if we go extra nerd in details, besides this bridge reminds me of good old early-TNG times so chips rulez

QFT

Hey guys, when I get a chance ill redo the circuitry to the chips, if not tonight then tomorrow.

What does QFT stand for?

[eclipse74569]

Either Quite F-cking True, or Quoted For Truth.

[andyp]

ok redo with chips, hope you like.

[JimmyB76]

thats much better...
quick question - this bridge wont have animated maps, im assuming?

as of right now, no. BUT if i were to gain knowledge of how those work in bridge commander i would be willing to give it a shot. Animated maps allow for blinking lights, and a transition from green, to red alert i am assuming right?

[Bones]

or animated LCARS ;) I'd love to have those animated still this is going to be my another reason to get my BC back on my HDD with this bride as default.

Only thing that looks REALLY out of place, is that all the displays are extremely... symmetrical. The side-displays on the left, look exactly like the ones on the right, and all of the isolinear chip panels (and the small displays on the same wall), all look alike. Some variation would be welcome

[tiqhud]

He'll learn, pretty good for first . takes time

ok ill fix that the next time i work on this, will probably just replace the back displays from the keypads, to just normal displays like the cannon bridge has.

animated textures are pretty simple to do, just open up notepad and create a list of the animation textures in the cycle:

Code: [Select]

anim1.tga
anim2.tga
anim3.tga

then save it as a .ifl file,save it with the rest of your textures and link to that as your material within max. You can change the timing properties under the "time" section of the bitmap window.

  good luck.

wow, the boss showed up.  long time no see.
would that work with ship textures, too?

How do you think animated bussards work

Great work on the bridge btw

[andyp]

ok cool thanks guys!

when i get the textures finalized, and the model stage complete ill start creating the animated maps. The only drawback is that i am using blender not max so ill have to export, then import, then do the animated maps. The good thing is that blender has the ability to create light maps soooo yeah.

[andyp]

ok redid the displays, let me know what you think.

[JimmyB76]

much better!
(animated lcars is what i meant earlier not animated maps lol)

[Nexxus21]

Its looking really good
